receiving many spam emails from sender renew@

Every day I receive 20-30 emails where the sender from address starts with renew@ (see image below) Outlook is placing these messages in the Junk email folder. But, every day I have to scan the Junk mail folder looking for appropriate messages that should have shown up in my Inbox.

I would like to create a Rule that automatically deletes any message in the Junk email folder who's sender name begins with "renew@"

I have actually created a rule but I cannot figure out how to run it against the Junk email folder.

Outlook | Web | Outlook.com | Email

    I agree but there have been many cases where users spam volume goes down suddenly. One of my users became a spam/phishing victim about a month ago. More than 1500 junk mail hammered his mailbox in 7 hours. They came from more than 600 unique IP addresses that belong to Microsoft. Suddenly it stopped completely. I did nothing except contacting support. They must have caught the spammers who abused their system. I'm a 365 subscriber.

    I think it's a shame for Microsoft. Someone is massively spaming you Outlook for weeks, and there is nothing you can do to help your users. Incredibly!

    No advice because we can't do anything in this case. As I said before, spam filter already detects them and places them in Junk folder. Manual clean up (delete them) is all we can do.

    Yes, the same happened to me. But pattern is the same - preview@ remains, and the rest of the address is always different.

    The spammer is quite good in playing bad games with Microsoft... and users are the victims... :-(
